How your business & creativity is rooted in science – Podcast

August 6, 2014 - 3 minutes read

So recently I was interviewed by a dear friend and an amazing business partner, Alex Kuhn. I was really honored, but most impressed with his motivational style of interviewing. He lead the discussion very casually and got some great information about the steps and processes it took for me, and my co-guests, to get our businesses off the ground.

Please take the time to listen to this very personal story of my own journey into consulting. Then listen to some of his other guests to hear their own unique journeys into business. You may be able to hear some correlations to your own start up venture. I’m sure you can pick up a few choice advice that’ll help you in your own journey.

Let me know what you think and please leave a comment, rate the show, and share it with anyone else you think can benefit.

He is the founder of Experimental Designs Consulting, where his passion is consulting with academic research centers to help them better utilize their resources. Despite having the opportunity to make more in pharmaceutical consulting, he chooses to work in academia due to his core belief that science where the truth is discovered that allows major breakthroughs to occur.
